Kingsmen: The Secret Service

A great mixture of comedy and action, that is what Kingsmen: Secret Service is for the 129 minute length of the film. With unknown to pop culture actor Taron Egerton leading the way as Gary "Eggsy" Unwin as a rebel with a knack for getting in trouble but skills that only a trained eye could really see. He soon meets up with Harry Hart (Colin Firth), who is a special agent in England's own special agency called Kingsmen. With the most skilled agents in the world and the most high tech gear, the Kingsmen are out to rid the world of any type of evil. Speaking of evil, the antagonist is portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson who plays a character called Valentine who has a secret plan to have every human on planet earth kill each other by using his universal sim card to launch a chemical reaction in the brain to make people violent. His urge is to rid the world of people so climate change may actually slow down. After a rigorous training program, and after our main character doesn't even make the cut, an unfortunate set of events begin to take place for him to be the hero of the day.

Even with a conventional theme for a movie, Kingsmen certainly separates itself from other spy/action movies just based on the sheer wit that is put into it. It shows the training of the agents and allows you to see the growth of our main character throughout the film. Colin Firth does a good job of acting as a leader in the film even though it can be seen as a silly movie. The fight scenes were shot incredibly well and keep you locked in the whole time. Samuel L. Jackson adds enough style to the movie to make you almost want to cheer for the antagonist throughout the film. It has enough of a punch for your typical "Transformer" fan to like, while having enough experienced and honest actors to make any film fan appreciate. I give Kingsmen a 8/10/

Source of Inspiration #5

For my 5th and final source of inspiration I wanted to have a picture of one of my favorite actors that had the same exact colors of my blog as well. As you can obviously see the colors of this posters are pretty much like the colors you are looking at right now, and I know i mentioned in an earlier post how my blue and white x-box controller influenced the color as well. After i noticed this poster on my wall, I figured why not just include this guy too. Joe Pesci is one of my favorite actors, the poster is blue and white, how perfect, right? I didn't have much inspiration before but this definitely helped out. Keeping the simple blue and white themed with a little bit of a background that was inspired by my hometown Roxy movie theater seemed to hit the nail on the head after I was lying and bed and looked up at the great Joe Pesci.

I love Joe Pesci because his characters are pretty much the most pissed off characters I have ever witnessed in movie history. Since Goodfellas is one of my favorite movies, i had this poster hanging in my room and it added even more of a reason to make it blue and white. I even had a little Joe Pesci voice in my head say, "Do it, ya schmuck." It still adds enough when it comes to the contrast between the text and background on a more serious note. It is not too flashy, doesn't distract you from the movie reviews, and I think it is more of an easy color to look at.
